A perfect book. Every time I come back to it—because it is a book for the wandering 22 year-old as well as the godless 44 year-old—I find a new pithy statement to laugh at or strange some philosophical instruction to chew on in my journal. This book should be read out loud, like a play. That is the only correct way to experience this book.
